The news spreading
around media about Virat and Anushka staying together in Hotel at England. Now
BCCI confirms the news that they allow Virat’s girlfriend Anushka
Sharma to stay with Virat Kohli in England for the Tests and this is
surely a different one by according to the criteria of the team for last few
decades.

The team management was
slightly taken aback when the BCCI approved Kohli's plea of letting Anushka
stay with him. But they were told there was no reason to worry as the two were
planning to get married. And this isn't the first time such a thing was happening.
A captain's girlfriend had travelled with the team in the past as well.

In fact, the BCCI also
told them that Kohli was smart enough to handle the situation and the media
wouldn't even get to know of Anushka's presence -a definite error of judgment.

On the view that
Anushka's presence had nothing to do with Kohli's poor form, the official said:
"Unlike football, Test cricket is played for eight hours. And when the
mind is on picking and dropping friends, the result will be visible on the
field itself. Off-field activities definitely play on the mind."
